We've been hit hard by it at mindat.org - it's a constant battle to try to control it. Blocking entire swathes of the internet to stop bad actors is about the only way to deal with it.
The worst thing is the bots are mostly deceptive pretending to be genuine users

For those who can't read the original link which is behind a paywall/registerwall this, at least for me, is readable.

I wish it wasn't necessary, but with the current state of the world it's probably for the best.

There is no argument. Ice is a mineral on the International Mineralogical Association official list. Anyone who says it's not a mineral is just wrong.

I didn't enjoy the Tartakovsky series at all. The newer Clone Wars series is canon tho at least for now

Not if he has some warm water. This stuff very rapidly dissolves in water.

I had the older A2088 XT compatible bridgeboard with mine, came with a 20MB hard disk split 10MB each for Amiga and PC.
It inspired me at the time to write this Amiga demo.

Hah. Things were much weirder back then. The Amiga 2000 had XT/AT slots that were only active when a bridgeboard was installed. You could partition a hard disk from the bridgeboard to share it with the Amiga, but the Amiga couldn't boot from it, so you had to have a boot floppy.

The 5.25" drive gives it away, it's fitted with an A2286 bridgeboard that can run Windows 3.1 fine.
